Cambridge-Dorchester County Christmas Parade

Cambridge-Dorchester County Christmas Parade

Dec 5, 2026 • 5:00 pm

Kick off the holiday season with the annual Cambridge-Dorchester County Christmas Parade - a Cambridge tradition since 1946. This nighttime parade in Downtown Cambridge, MD, features live entertainment, floats, marching bands, and smiles. The parade route begins at Long Wharf, travels along High Street, turns on Poplar Street, and continues onto Race Street. The parade ends at Washington and Race Streets.

Enjoy live music and caroling with local musician Anna Burgess at 4pm before the event by the reviewing stand, Race and Gay Streets. And don't miss the Crab Basket Christmas Tree, right next to the reviewing stand! While you're in town, stop by the Christmas Train Garden a few steps away on Gay Street. 

This event is put on by volunteers and relies on donations for trophies and more. Donate here.
